ROLL OVER AND PLAY DEAD

(Enslo Rich)
« © '67 Belton Music, ASCAP »
I ain't gonna roll over and play dead
You can get that nonsense sister right outta your head
You go ahead and try to steal my man
But you're gonna have the fire on your hands
Cause I ain't gonna roll over and play dead

You've hung enough jewelry on yourself to look like a neon sign
With your manicured nails and the hair spray on you sure do look real fine
And any fool can tell that you've gotten my baby in your sights
I guess you think your soulful lookin' that I won't put into fight

But I ain't gonna roll over...
[ dobro ] Well I can't buy those clothes you wear to look like a beauty queen
And I don't look like a covered girl on a fashion magazine
But you can't substitute real love with fancy trills and lace
And all you got that I ain't got is more makeup on your face

So I ain't gonna roll over...

Not not me no I ain't gonna roll over and play dead
This is my way for fightin' and I ain't gonna roll over and play dead

LOVE ME AND MAKE IT ALL BETTER

(Eddie Rabbitt)
« © '67 Barmour Music, BMI »
Love me and make it all better come back and ease the pain
Kiss away these burning tears say you love me again

I was wrong accusing you of unfaithfulness
Cause you walked away and took all my happiness

Love me and make it all better...

I'm a fool for thinking I could live without you
Maybe my own weakness cause me to talk in you

Love me and make it all better...

YOUR GOOD GIRL'S GONNA GO BAD

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
I've never seen the inside of a barroom
Or listen to a jukebox all night long
But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home

I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em
So if that's the way you've wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
From now on we're gonna see a different me

Because your good girl's a gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingi'est swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up hollered up then you oughta be glad
Cause your good girl's a gonna go bad
[ guitar ] I'll even learn to like the taste of whiskey
In fact you'll hardly recognize your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life

Because your good girl's a gonna go bad...
Oh yes your good girl's a gonna go bad

YOU DON'T KNOW ME

(Cindy Walker - Eddy Arnold)
« © '55 Unichappell Music, BMI »
You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been
But you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance you might have loved me too

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away with teardrops in my eyes
You'll never never know the one who loves you so
No you don't know me
You'll never never know the one who loves you so
No you don't know me

YOU AND ME AND TEARS AND ROSES

(Jim Glaser - Heinz Bucholz - Karl Goetz)
« © '67 Ensign Music, BMI »
You and me and tears and roses in my memory side by side
For you always sent me roses everytime you made me cry
Tears and roses now remind me that your love was just a lie
For today you sent me roses with a note that said goodbye

And then a little while when the roses die
All I'll have left of you are the tears I cry and cry oh oh oh oh
You and me and tears and roses not much left to fill the home
Roses will be gone tomorrow but the tears go on and on
[ guitar ] Tup dup to to do tup to to do...
And then a little while when the roses die...
But the tears go on and on

BREAK MY MIND

(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Baby oh baby tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind break my mind
No I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine
Break my mind break my mind oh Lord
Cause if you leave you're gonna leave a babblin' fool behind
[ ac.guitar ] Baby oh baby say you'll take your suitcase off of the scales in time
Tell the man that you've suddenly developed a thing about flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind break my mind...

GENTLE ON MY MIND

(John Hartford)
« © '67 Ensign Music, BMI »
It's knowing you don't try to bind my freedom with some promise made of gold
That for you my door stays open and our love becomes a simple to A street
And it's knowing we're not shacked by forgotten words and bons
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and I'd be planted on some column now that binds us
Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
When I'm drifting through the market place and find
That you're movin' on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheet fields and the clothes lines
And the junk yards and the highways come between us
And some other woman crying to her mother cause she turned and you were gone
I still might walk for hours tears of joy might stain my face
And a summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you moving on the back roads
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

The shadows freek in the autumn winds that make me draw inside myself in silence
Cross legged now I sit and watch the endless chase of leaves across my yard
And layin' down my hair brush I lean back within my window seat and find
That you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
Evrer smiling ever gentle on my mind

FALLEN STAR

(James Joiner)
« © '57 Tree Publishing, BMI »
A star fell from heaven right into my arms
The brightest star I know I've never seen
Then I found out that it was only you with all your charms
Who came into my life to fill a dream

A fallen star that's what you are
The twinkle in your eye came from the sky
You must have strayed from the Milky Way
A fallen star that's what you are
[ piano + steel ] A fallen star that's what you are...
A fallen star that's what you are

YOUR OLE HANDY MAN

(Dolly Parton)
« © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
I have to mow the lawn and I have to wash the car
Honey I just like to know who you think you are
I'm gettin' tired of waggin' that old heavy garbage can
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

I have to run your water and I have to wash your back
And I have to strop your razor after you have had your bath
You're helpless as a baby but I love you understand
I'm just gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man
I know you got ten fingers right where's your helping hand
Oh I've just made a decision I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

I do everything for you you never help yourself
And I think I die from shock if you raise a hand to help
Well I might gonna keep it up just what you've got planned
Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man...
I love you but come on baby you're a big boy now
All those muscles are goin' to waste

BURNING BRIDGES

(Walter Scott)
« © '57 Broad River Publishing, BMI »
Found some letters you wrote me this morning
They told of a love we once knew
Now they're gone I'd burned them to ashes
Don't want nothin' to remind me of you

Burning bridges behind me
It's too late to turn back now
Burning bridges behind me
All I want is to forget you somehow

Sold the house we once planned together
Said goodbye to friends we once knew
Then I moved to a faraway city
Trying hard to forget about you

Burning bridges behind me...

ALL THE TIME

(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker)
« © '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
All the time yes darling all the time
Tenderly and constantly I'll love you
Every day I'll prove it every way
In happiness or in loneliness I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me but don't let that bother you
For even if they tempt me I'll never be untrue
All the time yes darling all the time
Through the years through smiles or tears I'll love you

Other arms may tempt me...

ANY OLD WAY YOU DO

(Harlan Howard)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Sometimes you're mean sometimes you ain't
Sometimes you're a devil sometimes you're a saint
Sometimes I wish that I could leave and say we're through
But I love you any old way you do
Honey I love you any old way you do

Sometimes you drink sometimes you don't
Sometimes you cheat when you swear you won't
You're no good man you prove it through and through
But I love you any old way you do
Honey I love you any old way you do

You keep up be a devil in my heart and on my mind
But I put up with all this hurt for the moments when you're kind

You're ninety nine but send no good
And I walk out if I thought I could
But before I reach that darned heart could break in two
For I love you any old way you do
Honey I love you any old way you do

That's all right that's all right that's all right that's all right
Honey I love you any old way you do
